Safety Notes
General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING Read all safety warn-
ings and all instructions. Failure to
follow the warnings and instructions
may result in electric shock, fire and/or seri
-
ous injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers
to your mainsoperated(corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
Work area safety
►
Keep work area clean and well lit. Clut-
tered or dark areas invite accidents.
►
Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence
of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may ig-
nite the dust or fumes.
►
Keep children and bystanders away
while operating a power tool.
Distractions
can cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
►
Power tool plugs must match the out-
let. Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs
and matching outlets will reduce risk of
electric shock.
►
Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radi-
ators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is
an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is earthed or grounded.
►
Do not expose power tools to rain or
wet conditions.
Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
►
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the
cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging
the power tool.
Keep cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the
risk of electric shock.
►
When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock..
►
If operating a power tool in a damp
location is unavoidable, use a residual
current device (RCD) protected supply.
Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric
shock.
Personal safety
►
Stay alert, watch what you are doing
and use common sense when operat-
ing a power tool.
Do not use a power tool
while you are tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment
of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
►
Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection.
Protective
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protec-
tion used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
►
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
the switch is in the off position before
connecting to power source and/or
battery pack, picking up or carrying the
tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger
on the switch or energizing power tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
►
Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the power tool on.
A
wrench or a key left attached to a rotating
part of the power tool may result in person-
al injury.
►
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times.
This enables
better control of the power tool in unex-
pected situations.
►
Dress properly.Do not wear loose cloth-
ing or jewellery.
Keep your hair, clothing
and gloves away from moving parts.Loose
clothes, jewellery or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
►
If devices are provided for the connec-
tion of dust extraction and collection
facilities, ensure these are connected
and properly used.
Use of dust collection
can reduce dust related hazards.
►
A good knowledge of power tools re-
sulting from frequent use should not
lead to overconfidence and neglect of
power tool safety.
One careless action in
a split second can result in serious injury.
►
ATTENTION! If an interruption occurs in
the operation of the power tool due to a
complete or partial loss of power or dam-
age to the power control circuit, set the
switch to the Off position, making sure it is
not locked (if equipped). Unplug the mains
plug or disconnect the removable battery.
This prevents an uncontrolled restart.
Power tool use and care
►
Do not force the power tool. Use the
correct power tool for your application.
